"There just no point in having a car here that can do 150 mph and a 4 second 0-60. "


True to some degree, though you can join the BMWCCA or other car clubs and sign up for Drivers schools at the local tracks. You could get seat time on the Moroso road course or drive over to Sebring, where there is lots of room to go fast, etc. Trust me. 4 half hour sessions on a track is worth months of "fast" driving on the street. You drive much faster in a safer environment, and you'll learn a lot about your car.

By the same token, if you start to go to those schools you'll realize that a 200hp 3 series is already a pretty darn fast car. It may take 6 or 7 seconds to get to 60 mph, but you focus on keeping your momentum in the corners, and it makes you a much smoother,faster driver.
